Oct 10th Class Work: Shintoism & Shamanism Document 3 Questions
Document 3
1. Define SAJU
Saju is the book that the fortune tellers use to predict the future. Sa meaning 4, Ju meaning pillars, thus the major columns of one's birth: year, month, day and hour.
2. Describe your group's reaction to the teacher's visit to the Korean fortune-teller.
Our group was first kind of surprised and not expectant of the reaction of the teacher to the fortune-teller. After this initial reaction, we began to see that we recognized this type of Shamanism. Like the teacher, we were surprised as well. But then we realized that this is not an uncommon sight in Korea especially when applied to our parents and grandparents.
3. Why did the Korean University professor arrange the visit?
The Korean University professor, despite not believing in the fortune-teller itself, arranged the visit because he wanted the man to experience something part of the Korean culture. Perhaps a little curiosity of what the fortune-teller would say plays a role in having the visit arranged but it is mostly the idea of having the man exposed to Korean traditions.
4. List three questions you would ask the teacher to ask the fortune-teller. Date to many, location or position of the house, and how is this year's Korean SAT going to turn out.
